WVTransformBarotropicQG

A transform for modeling single-layer quasigeostrophic flow


Declaration

classdef WVTransformBarotropicQG < WVTransform

Overview

This is a two-dimensional, single-layer which may be interpreted as the sea-surface height. The ‘h’ parameter is the equivalent depth, and 0.80 m is a typical value for the first baroclinic mode.

  Lxy = 50e3;
  Nxy = 256;
  latitude = 25;
  wvt = WVTransformSingleMode([Lxy, Lxy], [Nxy, Nxy], h=0.8, latitude=latitude);
